Buffalo Wild Wings Offers Discount to January Blood Donors
Fairfield County, OH – The American Red Cross and Buffalo Wild Wings are once again teaming up to encourage lifesaving blood donations throughout the month of January. Community members who donate blood at any Fairfield County Red Cross blood drive during January will receive a $5 Buffalo Wild Wings gift card, courtesy of Buffalo Wild Wings.
While nearly 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, fewer than 4% do so each year. January is recognized as National Blood Donor Month, a time when blood donations are especially critical due to decreased donor turnout following the holidays and winter weather challenges. This incentive is designed to thank donors and help maintain a strong local blood supply during a high-need period.
“We are proud to continue supporting our community in a meaningful way that helps save lives,” said Larry Tipton, Buffalo Wild Wings franchise owner. “This partnership highlights the power of working together, and we hope it encourages even more people to roll up their sleeves and help the Red Cross meet, or exceed, its January blood collection goals.”

Appointments are not required to donate blood and receive the gift card. However, appointments are highly encouraged and those with an appointment will be given priority. Appointments can be made online at http://www.redcrossblood.org/make-donation or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS. Supporters can easily locate the nearest drive or American Red Cross center online. This opportunity will only be available at participating Fairfield County blood drives.
